"Zero—" Her voice was so gentle it could melt your heart, "Just... stay home and wait for me, okay?"
As he spoke, he blinked frantically: "My God! I'm begging you! Please understand my predicament!"
However, he was met with a rapidly cooling gaze!
Those icy blue eyes instantly transformed from calm to cold, sharp as a peerless sword drawn from its sheath!
Her entire aura suddenly tightened, and a chilling sense of danger spread uncontrollably.
She stared into Lu Mingfei's evasive eyes, speaking each word clearly:
"You—" she paused slightly, "are you thinking of seeing that girl again?"
Lu Mingfei: "??????"
Given that he had previously discussed the system with Zero, Zero was aware of its existence! He even knew that the system would issue him tasks!
No wonder she wouldn't let Lu Mingfei go out alone—it turns out she was worried he'd go on a secret rendezvous with another girl!
But... he really wasn't going on a date!
He went... to walk his bird!
How the hell is this explained?!
Looking at Zero's cold, murderous face, Lu Mingfei felt like his tongue was tied in knots...
Chapter 70 will only be updated today; we're about to enter the main storyline.
Let's summarize the plot.
Chapter 71 Zero's Choice (2.8k)
Zero's thinking is completely wrong! And way too far off!
But the crucial problem is—he can't explain it!
Should I shout, "Zero, you've got it wrong! I'm not going to find a girl, I'm going to run ten laps naked around the school track!"
What if I said that out loud?
Regardless of Ling's reaction, the Liu family of three could instantly humiliate him with their eyes!
"No way!" Lu Mingfei retorted decisively.
"Absolutely not! Don't make wild guesses! I'm not going to see other girls! I have something very important to do! Something extremely important!"
Zero's eyelashes trembled almost imperceptibly.
She didn't speak, but her cold gaze showed no sign of backing down, as if to say, "Keep making things up."
Lu Mingfei turned his head and glanced at the clock on the wall again: 19:33.
There's still enough time; there are more than four hours left before the daily tasks end.
It's only six kilometers from the Liu family home to Shilan Middle School. At his current speed, he could run there in just a few minutes.
Forcing our way in now is obviously not an option... so we'll just have to stall!
Once Ling is asleep, he will sneak out without anyone noticing!
Having made up his mind, he immediately said, "Uncle Liu, it's getting late, let's go back to our rooms and rest!"
After saying that, without waiting for a response, he turned around and strode towards the stairs.
Zero remained silent, following him like a shadow.
Looking at the two figures walking one after the other, Mr. Liu was even more confused:
"What kind of show are these two putting on today?"
Lu Mingfei had just placed his hand on his doorknob when Zero, like a cat, nimbly slipped through the gap beside him.
Lu Mingfei's eyelids twitched, and he felt like he was in a real predicament.
—Isn't his fiancée a little too "independent"?
They can just wander into his room like it's their own backyard!
Since that's the case, then we can only let her have the room.
Just as he was about to close the door, a fair hand suddenly reached out and gripped the inside of the door frame tightly.
"Come in." Zero's voice came from behind the door, carrying an unyielding tone of command.
Lu Mingfei sighed, rubbing his forehead, and leaned helplessly against the door.
"Zero, can't you be reasonable? I'm a grown man, after all. It's the middle of the night, and we're all alone in a room... guess what might happen?"
"I know," Zero replied crisply.
"I know you still..."
“I don’t mind,” Zero interrupted him calmly.
Lu Mingfei thought he was hallucinating: "Wait a minute? What did you just say?"
Zero looked up at him, his perpetually expressionless face inches away, and calmly said:
“I said, I don’t mind being your fiancée,”
She paused, then said matter-of-factly, "If you really can't resist... you can make a move on me."
Lu Mingfei: "!!!"
His Adam's apple bobbed violently.
An indescribable surge of heat rushed to my lower abdomen! Oh no, it seems the blood is flowing in the wrong direction!
"Come in!" Zero urged again, his hand gripping the door frame unmoving.
This won't do! If this continues, something terrible will happen!
Lu Mingfei focused his mind instantly!
"Forced Calming" - Activated!
A chilling power instantly swept over his body, calming all his agitation.
Lu Mingfei took a deep breath, his eyes becoming unusually clear, even with a strange calmness.
He suddenly pushed the door open, and Zero's hand naturally loosened its grip on the door frame. He stepped in front of Zero.
Under Zero's slightly surprised gaze, his slender fingers gently lifted her chin, forcing her to tilt her head back slightly.
Then, Lu Mingfei leaned closer—their noses were no more than twenty centimeters apart—
He lowered his eyelids and, in a low, flat tone, precisely replicated a famous scene from a clichéd CEO drama:
"Woman, you're playing with fire!"
Zero's icy blue pupils suddenly shifted slightly as he glanced out the door toward the hallway.
At the top of the stairs on the third floor, Liu Miaomiao stared wide-eyed, her mouth agape as if she could fit an egg in it, her face filled with shock!
If you've watched this much, you're definitely a die-hard fan of CEO dramas!
"Bang!" Zero reacted incredibly quickly, slamming the door shut behind him!
In the last second before the heavy solid wood door closed completely, Liu Miaomiao clearly saw—
A smug smile actually appeared on Zero's lips!
That smile was like a spark thrown into a powder keg!
Liu Miaomiao's mind went blank for a moment, and the fuse of "crisis" and "competitive spirit" was instantly lit!
Her previous heart-to-heart talk with her mother had a profound awakening for her:
In Lu Mingfei's heart, Liu Miaomiao was the weakest among the five girls!
Looks? Family background? She had none of those advantages!
The only chance to turn things around... is to take the initiative!
We absolutely cannot let them lock themselves in the room and act alone!
"No—!" A near-shattering scream accompanied by a burst of brute force!
Liu Miaomiao transformed into a mother leopard, kicking open the door that wasn't even locked, and rushed inside!
After she shouted, she realized with a start that the room was completely dark, with the lights off!
In the darkness, two pairs of golden eyes suddenly lit up and instantly locked onto her!
The powerful aura startled Liu Miaomiao, causing her to instinctively take a half-step back.
But the next second, out of resistance to the darkness and a strong warning of being caught in the act, she reached out and "snap" turned on the crystal chandelier switch by the door frame!
Soft, warm light poured down, instantly dispelling the darkness of the room.
The scene inside the room was exposed to glaring light.
Liu Miaomiao blinked hard, thinking she was seeing things.
There were no intertwined figures as imagined, no intimate kisses, and no "next step" that was inappropriate for children.
The scene before my eyes was simply...bizarre!
Lu Mingfei and Ling were standing face to face, very close to each other.
But what they did was—reach out their hands and press them firmly against each other's faces!
One person presses the left cheek, and the other presses the right cheek.
Judging from the force they were using, it was more like they were competing, as if they wanted to push or crush each other's faces.
Countless question marks instantly appeared above Liu Miaomiao's head:
What is this... a newly developed couples play?
She was so embarrassed that she wanted to slip away as soon as possible.
"I'm...I'm sorry! I think I've come at the wrong time..." she said, turning to close the door behind her.
